Forums - Sales Discussion - Halo 4 sells more in 7 weeks than GT:5 sold in its first year

man-bear-pig on 03 January 2013

I thought this was quite interesting, given that both of these games are arguably their respective consoles biggest exclusive game...

Anyway, Halo 4 has sold 7,030,950 in its first 7 weeks on sale. It took GT:5 58 weeks to sell as much as this. Pretty amazing!



My game of the year 2012

My bet with Brendude13. He won.

Sorry Gematsu, I'll never doubt you again.

The best thread that never was.

Halo 4 predicted sales chartz.

It has always been known that Halo games are very front loaded.
Same with gears games. Not that its a bad thing or anything.

I wonder how many price cuts GT5 had to even make it there.

Pretty good opening for Halo.

Lets see how it does over the next 12 Months. And the 12 Months after. And the 12 Months after.

Impressive opening indeed.

I was 3 months clean from VG Chartz.. but then Xbox 720 and Ps4 happened.

I'm sure full or almost full price sales are worthier to MS than bargain bin sales.
